I'll Be Right Back (1999), the autobiography of talk show host Mike Douglas, gives the facts re Elvis and Robert Goulet: Goulet had dated a singer from Elvis' group, so when Goulet was a guest on The Mike Douglas Show, Elvis shot the TV set. This happened in a hotel, so the incident became a news story. Elvis was concerned about Mike Douglas' reaction and phoned to apologize. Douglas then tried to get Elvis on his show. Elvis: "I'm sorry, Mr. Douglas. Mike. I can't. Honest to God. I just can't." Douglas: "Elvis, why not? You don't even have to sing if you don't want to." Douglas tried several angles during the phone call, but Elvis refused.
